btw the thing you do

Speak to any wise trainer or athlete and they will tell you the importance of recovery. 

It’s the thing you do between the thing you do. 

The stopping. The resting, the stretching, the ice, the heat, the cold water plunge, the massages, the sleep, they are all apart of recovery. 

Some people call them recovery days. 

But we also have recovery moments..

not a full day, just a moment..

to catch our breath. 

to gather ourselves. 

to remember our goals, dreams, and purpose. 

“I just need a moment”..

to try and make sense of what is happening. 

“Wow, that’s a lot. I just need a moment”..

of recovery. 

As a generous person, it can be easy to forget that you too need to recover. You can give and give, and pour and pour - into everyone but yourself. 

But it’s the thing you do in between the thing you do that helps you do the thing you do. 

The stopping. The resting, the stretching, the ice, the heat, the cold water plunge, the massages, the sleep. 

That’s generosity too. 

Do you need a moment?

..

Or do you need a day? 

Your generosity depends on it.
